Factory farming is institutionalized animal cruelty to produce inferior meat products. I therefore support the initiative, even as an occasional meat eater.

Viktor GiacobboComedian & Presenter

There is no argument for industrial animal husbandry but there is an almost infinite number of arguments against it. We should use all means to resist the current system.

Gülsha AdiljiJournalist & Presenter

I am against factory farming because every living creature deserves to see the sky.

Melanie WinigerActress & Presenter

Even understanding that one would rather not look at factory farms, it is incomprehensible to me that they were not abolished long ago.

Anja ZeidlerInfluencer & Author

Factory farming degrades animals to products and thus denies their claim to dignity. But animals are not mere things and should therefore not be treated as such.

Daniel JositschCouncil of State, Social Democrats

Factory farming is not compatible with a diverse and rural agriculture. It pollutes water bodies by importing animal feed and, by means of fattening sheds, disintegrates the landscape.

Martina MunzNational Councillor, Social Democrats

With this initiative we protect ourselves from climate collapse and from having to ask ourselves whether a few minutes of pleasure justify acting against any compassion towards living beings.

Sibylle BergWriter & Playwright

Factory farming should be abolished because it is a crime against life.

Animal husbandry in Switzerland is becoming more and more intensive. While a house-cat has the right to retreat according to law, farmed animals may stand densely crowded in the dark.

Petra IvanovWriter & Journalist

There is no animal-friendly way of doing factory farming. This disrespect for animals should be abolished.
